About “XO, Kitty” in a few words:

XO, Kitty follows Kitty Song Covey as she moves to Korea to reconnect with her long-distance boyfriend and learn more about her late mother’s past. Sounds simple? Yeah… not even close. Between love triangles, secrets, identity struggles, and elite school drama, Kitty quickly realizes life isn’t a rom-com script. It’s messy, emotional, and sometimes brutally honest — but that’s what makes it feel real.

Meet the characters from XO, Kitty

Kitty

Kitty is a total whirlwind — bubbly, romantic, and forever scheming (in the best way). She wears her heart on her sleeve, falls for big gestures, and also plans tiny, very specific revenge plots when someone eats her banchan. She’s charmingly chaotic: collects pastel stickers, has a notebook full of poetry and flight itineraries, and somehow gets lost within a two-block radius. Oh, and she loves cats — madly — even though she sneezes around them, which is either tragedy or comic timing depending on the episode. Ultimately she’s the emotional engine of the group, dramatic but loyal, and you can’t help but root for every impulsive, slightly questionable decision she makes.

Dae

Dae is that sardonic best friend who’s secretly a romantic and also probably practicing emergency make-out plans in her head (don’t ask). She’s practical, fiercely protective, the kind who will text you a spreadsheet at 2 a.m. but cry over a romcom scene five minutes later. Low-key very fashionable but also owns three identical hoodies because comfort is king, and she’s the one who organizes the group’s actual logistics — schedules, snacks, feelings. She’ll roll her eyes but show up, which is basically the definition of love, and there’s a stubborn streak that makes her both annoyingly reliable and surprisingly impulsive sometimes.

Yuri

Yuri is effortless charm with an edge — stylish, a little mysterious, and absolutely magnetic in a way that feels natural not staged. He’s got this habit of giving advice like he’s lived ten lives (probably exaggerating) and then panicking over his own dating texts five minutes later. Sometimes he’s the daredevil, sometimes he’s the one who prefers quiet nights with sneakers off and a guilty-pleasure manga, so pick your mood. He’s confident until he’s not — big believer in gestures but also secretly terrible at birthday timing — so you get grand romances and awkward apologies in equal measure.

Q

Q is the lovable brain of the crew — witty, slightly chaotic, and armed with trivia for every conceivable awkward silence. He’s the person who can fix your playlist, your Wi-Fi, and your mood, often in that order, and honestly he’s winning by being quietly kind. There’s this dorky energy — collects vintage pens and practices dance moves badly but with commitment — that makes him endlessly endearing. He brags about being unflappable but will turn tomato-red if someone compliments his shoes, which is why everyone loves teasing him (and also protecting him, obviously).
